# RenderPipeline

> Provides a way to implement rendering logic for a Scriptable Render Pipeline.

## Definition

* **Type:** Class
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine.Rendering](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/rendering.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

```csharp
public abstract class RenderPipeline
```

## Remarks

Inherit from this class to override the [RenderPipeline.Render](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/rendering/renderpipeline/render.md) method as part of implementing a Scriptable Render Pipeline (SRP):

```csharp
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class CustomRenderPipeline : RenderPipeline
{
    protected override void Render(ScriptableRenderContext context, List<Camera> cameras)
    {
        // Implement this method to customize your SRP.
        // For a more complete example, refer to RenderPipeline.Render.
    }
}
```

For more detailed information, refer to [Creating a custom render pipeline](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.core@latest/index.html?subfolder=/manual/srp-custom.html) and  Unity Manual: Scriptable Render Pipeline.
